The cast comprises Michael Ball as Javert, Alfie Boe as Jean Valjean, Carrie Hope Fletcher as Fantine, Matt Lucas as Thénardier, Rob Houchen as Marius, Bradley Jaden as Enjolras, Katy Secombe as Madame Thénardier, Shan Ako as Éponine, Amara Okereke as Cosette and at certain performances John Owen-Jones will again play the role of Jean Valjean. In preparation for the opening Cameron Mackintosh has connected the Sondheim with his other theatre next door, the Gielgud, in order for the production to utilise backstage facilities and dressing rooms, doubling the backstage space to ensure the maximum safety of the performers and the staff. Strict Covid safety measures and social distancing will be followed front of house, on stage, backstage and throughout the building. This spectacular production has a Company of over 50 actors and musicians drawn from the alumni of several productions of Les Misérables, who will play to a now further reduced seating capacity of under 600. Before public booking opens for the new performances at 10am on 4 December 2020, priority booking will be given to those Patrons who need to be re-seated.

The original six-week run was announced in mid-October and within twenty-four hours was extended to 31 January 2021.

Public excitement for Les Misérables -The Staged Concert was exceptional and tens of thousands of people had to be turned away. Extra performances have also been added to enable the public who have so far been unable to get tickets to see the show. Additional dates have been added to help accommodate Patrons who are affected by the Government’s latest directive requiring Theatres to further reduce their seating capacity to a maximum of 50%. The sell-out Christmas season of Les Misérables -The Staged Concert which reopens on 5 December at the Sondheim Theatre has today announced that the run will extend to 28 February 2021. We have some brilliant news for Les Mis fans to start the week including full casting and more performance dates, so if you missed out on tickets the first time, it might be your chance to get your hands on some!
